Windows phone comes with a really slow pace. Now Nokia plans to release Windows phone more frequently.
Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) --05/31/2011 -- The first Windows Phones came out in October and then not many follow-ups. Now Nokia plans that they would release Windows phone more frequently. The first one would come out later this year, Nokia's executive vice president of smart devices, Jo Harlow said.
Windows phone comes with a really slow pace. Some say that’s because android and symbian has been the dominant OS for cell phones and windows is just being a "secondary platform" for manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, so there are more android phones (http://www.pickegg.com/wholesale/android-cell-phones/?welcome=57903) and symbian phones on the market. But as Windows will be Nokia's primary platform, Nokia will focus more heavily on Windows Phones, according to Harlow.
“Nokia already seems to be influencing the Windows Phone platform. Along with the mapping software that Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer discussed when they made their agreement in February, Harlow said that some of Nokia's cloud services may help fill Microsoft's gaps in countries where Microsoft doesn't have a major presence. For instance, the Nokia Music Store may take the place of Zune in countries where Microsoft's music store isn't available.” according to PC magazine.
Since Nokia’s dominate position has been divided by iphone and blackberry, this seems like a fight-back. The activity of working with Microsoft seems like a trial to get back on the competition, since they already owns android phones and symbian phones. After this, they almost get phones on different platforms.
